iPhone...why oh why o why...
..did I decide to buy one on Saturday.
I was lured in by its sexy looks and awesome interface...but damn is it missing some features.
Sure I already knew about the lack of 3G, GPRS, decent camera and the inability to send MMS messages.
But bloody hell, when I learned that you couldn't even set an MP3 as a ringtone without paying for it, you cant install any apps without hacking it and you cant even access the web using traditional GSM when there's no wifi, it went straight back in the box!
Back to o2 we go...

Check for a software upd8 m8.
I heard these things a while back, but I`m not 100% sure - but I think things are being patched as they go along.
Shoulda put Windows on it

you mean like the only things people use phones for other than ringing?
Seems to me like theyve been deliberately lazy, knowing their main fanbase A. probably wont know what 3G even is and B. put looks before anything else.

Totally agreed. I can't believe that it doesn't even have a full implementation of Bluetooth, so I couldn't even BT all my contacts over to the Iphone from my Sony. Total bolacks!

Exactly. Its pretty much a flashy ipod with a half-arsed phone bolted on to it.
